class 6 cards?

are there any class 6 16 or 32 gb cards?
my class 6 8gb card just died and im looking to get more space to get rid of my ipod but i dont think a class 2 card would be fast enough to handle 12gb worth of music fluidly like a ipod....
i tried looking for some san disk class 6 cards but i can only find class 2 16 and 32gb cards
and some random "ts" cards that say their class 6 which i really doubt they are

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-mic...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1277324728&sr=8-1

lmao i feel stupid now thanks a lot bro i think i might buy that card then

so i found a class 10!! 16gb card on amazon by kingston what do you guys think? 30 more bucks than the class 6... worth it?

They get kinda warm, or even kinda hot, and can burn out. Especially in the Evo, underneath the battery, which already can easily get >100 deg. F, and not being able to vent.. yeah. Also if it's a cheap card it can just be made really crappy and r/w operations can damage the memory

How do you verify the card is real? I bought a 16gb class 2 from eBay. It says scandisk on it and it only cost 26 bucks. I haven't seemed to have problems with it, but worried about the overheating.

Use h2testw to check for capacity. You can't really tell if it is sandisk or not. Check the read/write speed using atto disk benchmark.
Anyways, a class 2 16 gb microsd goes for ~30-33 on Amazon via third party seller/fufilled by Amazon (less likely to be fake)

if you have a sandisk chip that you know is genuine, compare the two chips. Other wise Google image for a sandisk chip and compare. I think that sandisk usually has a serial or part number on the chip. Not sure of the details but I've heard that fakes are usually lacking something. Also compare the size and build quality to the chip that came with the phone. Sometimes fakes are slightly larger or have crappy glue jobs. Google how to detect a fake. There's some good info. Most of it is what I said.

Ok conducted a test and got this.
Warning: Only 15101 of 15193 MByte tested.

You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.

Thanks for all your help guys!!! Looks like I have a good card.

i just got the 16gb class 10 card and here are the benches. im also testing the stock card the phone came with. enjoy!
btw i tried fixing the pics but i dont know why they are coming out like that i give up...

so i synced all my music and pics and the card works great just as fast as the itouch... but now it brings me to another issue.... the itouch is louder the evo is loud enough but it just kills me to know that i could go louder on my itouch this is bull****

which is card to get ?
you know... i personally would go with some 8 gig class six models, example, transcend is selling the 16gig class 6 for 64.99 on new egg but also selling the 8 gig class 6 for 19.99.... which means you could get 24 gigs for less with over 5 dollars to spare which you could use to get a nice 5.99 2.0 card reader all free shipping. besides most custom roms and all future android updates use apps to sd which shortens the life of you sd, why put all your eggs in one basket? i had 2x 8 gig cards on my g1 using apps to sd for a year and a half and never opened the second 8 gig card sold it in its package when i sold my g1 had 1 gig ext3 partition 256 mb swap, plus over 2 gig of music and a bunch of t.v shows its hard to fill up an 8gig card on a mobile device.

I wish I knew about the class 10. I just got an AData 16gb class 6 for $59.99 to replace my other one that went bad.

32 gb sandisk

hi, i hope this is right place to put this and also to let you know i did do a search of the forum and couldn't find an answer...
i just bought a 32 gb sandisk micro sd card and inserted it into my galaxy s, i have tried to add thing to this via my pc and also via astro on my phone, each time it seems to get a little of the way and then the external sd card unmounts its self (at least i think thats whats happning ) and then i get an error on my pc saying the read/right disc was unreadeable, then my pc says that the external memory needs formatting before i can continue use, if i then go back into my phone i notice te external memory is no longer mounted, this is driving me mad, if anyone can help please do before i throw my phone out the window lol....i am using a rooted galaxy s with 8gb onboard memory

It sounds like you have a bad card. I would return it for a new one.

Let me guess, eGay. . . . .
I have 2 fakes sitting right here. . . . This is a huge scam.
Buy memory from reliable sources only.
my 16Gb card is a 1Gb in reality.

Hmmm...did you make sure that the USB mode is set to debug and then the dial up mode is off. This same thing happened to me last night. Make sure that's done. Restart the phone and THEN plug the cable in. I'm guessing it keeps flipping out and there's a red pyramid in the upper left hand corner?

Bad Memory
I believe you got a "fake" memory. I have experience of this before. A lot of programmer will be able to re-program the card from 2G to 32G or whatever the capacity they want. just google it, there is a free program will be able test it and tell you the real capacity your card has it. if the price is incrediblely low, there will be a problem. if you got it from ebay, just dispute it and get your money back.

Look for the program h2testw, it will tell you actual capacity of your card, likely 64-512mb only.

Yes, scams. You should only buy to respective shops. Sadly some of my friends bought things like 10pcs. Too bad they got scammed. I learned my lesson and it is just somehow like 3-5$ difference.

I'd say stick to Newegg and Amazon for memory purchases.

Which is the best company for 32 gig class 10's

I've bought 8GB and 16GB cards from those Chinese deal sites. They worked out alright. They weren't too experience. But I agree, if you want a 32 GB card, go buy a reliable brand from a credit-worthy source.

where can u buy cheap memory cards

I'd say Sandisk is the best quality memory card you can buy. Class 2 and 4 Sandisk work great for WP7 or for running Android off of on a HD2. Class 2 and 4 cards generally have a better random access speed than class 6 or 10 cards. You only want higher class cards for digital cameras where you are writing a lot of file sequentially. For running operating systems where itneedsto read small amounts of data from many parts of the card quickly, a quality class 2 or 4 card works best.

You should test the card with CrystalDiskMark and HD Tach to get the random read and write speeds and random access time. I'm curious as to how the class 10 Lexar rates in those speeds.

good 32gb memory card?

what do you guys think of this brand? decent? new time sd card purchaser...

Looks like garbage. Stick with trusted brands like SanDisk, Transcend, Kingston, PNY, etc..

I agree with Pheno.menon but the price might be worth the shot. Just make sure you use Paypal. I have tried a few of these even named brand and had the file with Paypal to get my $ back. You also want to test the speed if you get get one. I had one marked as a class 6 but wasn't even a class 2. Made the phone freeze up.

I remember reading about a delay when unlocking the screen whenever an SD card was installed. Can't seem to find anything about it now though. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

I get the slight delay but the thing with mine is i get the delay whether my sd card is in or not.

as stated in the op, im a new sd card buyer, so dont bash me lol.... what programs are used to check the speed? ive read on how to see if its legit but not the programs that check them

I remember back in the day on the G1 when you had to run apps to sd and partition your card. I bought a supposed class 6 8gb card on eBay for cheap. It was definitely slower than my Sandisk class 2. I'm using a 32gb class 4 SanDisk I conned my buddy out of his Thunderbolt. Must say so far I like it. Try craigslist. I know I picked up a 16gb for cheap a while ago...

I bought this one from ebay.

higher class number means higher write speeds, but that doesn't always mean better read speeds.
IMO higher class cards are better when your doing photography and video stuff
I read my card more often than write to it so a lower class card with better read speeds is better for me.

I got a sandisk 32GB class 4. It is plenty fast enough. I record pics/video to onboard phone storage anyways. I store vids, music, etc on the sd card and it reads very fast. I haven't move any apps to sd card because we have plenty onboard memory.

what's a good price for a 32GB class 4 microSDHC? i've been waiting for about 2 weeks for a deal to be posted on SD, but haven't seen one yet.
amazon is selling a sandisk for $37. i'm wondering is i should just buy this?

Bestbuy has the Kingston class 4 32gb for 42.99? Do you all think that's a good deal? I know amazon has the Sandisk 32gb class 4 for 37, but i has mixed reviews.

Also might be worth adding that it's a Class 4 microSD card, which tbh isn't going to cut it for a full fledged 32GB imo at least, but good find indeed.

Best I've found for a class 10 is:
Class 10 32GB MicroSD memory card.

yikes, it's already sold out!

That cheap class 10 komputerbay on amazon has pretty bad reviews. If you stalk ebay for a few days you can find a 32gb memory card in the low 20s. I got a 16gb sandisk for $6.50 its a class 2 but speeds are almost 6. Good enough for music and random files.

GS2 doesn't need them. Just get a 32 gig class 4 for your music and backups. Use the onboard storage for apps and camera. Onboard is way faster than a class 10.

Sandisk 32GB Class 10 from DX?

Anyone have any experience from the Sandisk 32GB Class 10 from DealExtreme?
I'm looking for a good sd card and I think this one fits my needs.
I have ordered from DX a long time ago when they had flashcarts and a flashlight, but I have no expereince with buying an microsd card from them.
There's a chance it is fake, but as long as it works it doesn't bother me at all.
Looking at the reviews it seems good and I'm about to order, just want to see what you guys think of it or if anyone of you guys have bought an sd card from them.
Here's the link: http://dx.com/p/sandisk-micro-sd-tf-memory-card-w-sd-adapter-32gb-class-10-139290
It's for $28.70
Thanks!

If you don't need the adapter thingy, they're a couple of dollars cheaper for the same card at amazon. Also less of a chance you'd get burned by a fake.

Now is a class 10 even necessary for a S3?

Probably not absolutely necessary but the price differential between that and a lower class (speed) one isn't that great (couple of dollars) to make the cheaper one a 'bargain'.
